there is no rpg better then mass effect on any system at the moment but i can guarantee that FFXIII will put it to shame

mattyomo99


While I can't really argue because I haven't played Mass Effect, I am pretty sure FXII is better, if not, then definitely FFVII is better. There is sure to be an RPG better than Mass Effect out there. I highly doubt it is the best RPG ever, hands down.

It's just that this gen (360/PS3) there (arguably) haven't been any better RPG's, and the only one that could even compete would be Oblivion.

[QUOTE="Vandalvideo"] Don't go spouting off at the mouth when you have no inklink to what I have played or not. I may not have the completionist achievement, but for the most part, I have played the vast majority of the sidequests, beat the game, and I'm already half way through it again in a new game plus in under 24 hours. I even sat there and read the codecs for each and every person, listened to all the investigative dialogue trees, and explored the enviroments as best I could. Heck, the only missions I missed were two on the citadel at the beginning and I may not have explored one or two systems. But for the most part, I completed a fairly substantial portion of the game. Just because you're slow doesn't mean everyone plays at the same pace as you bucko. I'm a fast gamer, I experienced quite a significant ammount of the game, and I'm even going back on a new game plus. Even THEN, its not enough for the game to outdo the WItcher, with over TWICE as much playtime! -RPGamer-

No in fact you haven't. You haven't played the majority of the sidequests... that's what the completionist achievement gains you. :|

So you missed over half of the sidequests the game has to offer, and yet you call it short. It's merely short b/c you made it short.

I didn't even leave the citadel the firsttime thereuntil 9hrs of game time. I put in 18hrs before I bothered getting Liara T'Soni (the first of the three main story missions I did).

I'm no slow gamer, I just do everything I can. ME is NOT short unless the gamer makes it that way.

No, I played the vast majority of the side quests that were presented to me over the course of the game through dialogue and enviroment exploration. I didn't go to every single knook and cranny of the galaxy looking for mundane activities like solving some mindlessd rull about how some biotic woman killed her crewmates (On second playthrough im going EVERYWHERE). Never-the-less, there is not enough here to warrant exhorbant ammounts of added play time, and the game alone is no where near as long as the Witcher, end of story. I hardly did any of the Witcher sidequests and still manage 30-40 hours on the main storyline ALONE.

Well, I can definitely tell you that Mass Effect is better than Final Fantasy XII (and that was my 2006 GOTY). FFVII can only be better if you factor in the Nostalgic feeling you get but in terms of substance, Mass Effect is definitely better. I'm a huge Final Fantasy fan but Mass Effect is really great RPG. Anyway, even though I'm a bitdisappointed that FFXIII got delayed to 2009, I'm actually glad that Square Enix will be putting a lot of effort into it. FFXII was a step in the right directon for the series (in terms of gameplay), I'm actually hoping it does atleast, turn out to be better than Mass Effect.

I preffered FF12, if only for the more flushed out gameplay. These graphical glitches are really getting on my nerves. The sheer ammount of side quests in FF12 was amazing. (Had over 100 hours total play time by the time he took down Omega)

8.5 != bad.

8.5 = great game. Regardless of the game/system, and those who try saying otherwise are usually heavily biased.

Warhawk got an 8.5...that game was/is GREAT....Mass Effect is no where near flop. Now it could have been much better with a little more time tho.

As much as I loved FFXII its sidequests weren't really varied like Mass Effects. In ME,the sidequests aren't all fights, I like the conversation quests, and the fetch quests.....but yeah, there are things in FFXII that are better than ME. It was also a long game. In fact, I finished the game on my first playthrough at 102 hours.

No, I played the vast majority of the side quests that were presented to me over the course of the game through dialogue and enviroment exploration. I didn't go to every single knook and cranny of the galaxy looking for mundane activities like solving some mindlessd rull about how some biotic woman killed her crewmates (On second playthrough im going EVERYWHERE). Never-the-less, there is not enough here to warrant exhorbant ammounts of added play time, and the game alone is no where near as long as the Witcher, end of story. I hardly did any of the Witcher sidequests and still manage 30-40 hours on the main storyline ALONE.Vandalvideo

If you played the majority than you would have received the achievement, it's a simple concept. So saying you played the "vast majority", but "didn't get the achievement" is a false pair of statements. You missed out on over half the side quest content ME had to offer. This is a simple fact.

I didn't say it was longer than The Witcher, I never mentioned The Witcher actually. I'm merely defending the length of a supposedly short game.

I'll wait to hear a more meaningful judgement on time in the game when you go "EVERYWHERE" as you claim you will.

You didn't read the entirety of my statement. "I played the vast majority of the sidequests that were presented to me through general exploration and dialogue". I found it really monotonous to travel to every freaking solar system, every planet, go to every anomaly, and look for snipets of information so I can just kill some more husks to get some very small ammount of backstory on scientists or space monkies who have little to no bearing on the overarching story at all. (With minor exceptions). From my experiences with the sidequests at this momment in time, they aren't very conducive to the game as a whole, and feel very fragmented. I don't feel compelled like I shold to go and explore random Thorian Crepper Killing Expedition Number Twenty Million for random backstory.

And in an RPG, what "presents" itself is often what the gamer finds themselves. So if the gamer doesn't really go looking, than in turn what is "presented" isn't really much to talk about.

With statements like those WRPG, games often prided on going to every corner to gather information, must be a bore to you over all. Many WRPG feature content that has little to no bearing on the actual story, but more to the environment in which you're playing in(Elder Scrolls is a huge player in this concept).

You can keep defending your view on it being short, that's fine, I will continue to disagree.

Thats the thing though, you have to look at the all-encompassing purpose of my arguement to understand the context in which I'm saying its a short game. You know what? If you went to every single planet, did every single convoluted side quest, and read every snippet of information and got the completionist achievement and played through the game multiple times you probably could squeeze out a fairly substantial ammount of play time from it, I've read anywhere from 50-59 hours all things considered. Once again, that IS short relatively speaking, which was the prupose of my original statements. The WItcher clocks in at 40 horus PRIOR to sidequests or playing the game multiple times. Relatively speaking, Mass Effect is very short. The main quest in Mass Effect is very short when comparing it to many other major arcs of different WRPG games. They focused less ont he main story and more on univrse information for god knows what reason. For those fanatics who want to find irrelevant information to the main story be my gues, you'll enjoy the game fully and it will last a long time. For those looking for a more compelling experience that is much more strung together and cohesive the Witcher is definitely where its at.

The difference is that most of the people kept saying Metroid was so much better than Halo 3. With Mass Effect most Lemmings like myself took the ownage and just enjoyed the game. Though I'm sure there has been at least one thread questioning a rating compared to Mass Effect.

Relatively speaking it's still a good length RPG, much longer than you made it seem with your previous play through times listed.

I'm not going to talk about The Witcher (I have it on order), it's something I have not played yet.

There is nothing "very short" about Mass Effect, even relatively speaking. And you can plow through some WRPG in short periods of time if you want, that doesn't make those WRPG titles short (I'll give you Fable simply b/c you can actually do everything in less than 20hrs fairly easy).

Maybe they focused on the universe b/c they felt it compelling. Some people (me for instance) find interest in it. The Elder Scrolls franchise plays the same exact card just in a medieval format.

Again keep calling it short (or even "relatively short") and I will continue to disagree.

I don't necessarily see how you can "disagree" when the allusion I'm making is to a game you "haven't played". Relatively speaking, Mass Effect is short, plain and simple. Thats comparing it to The Witcher, which was the prupose of my original post you responded to. I'm not saying Mass Effect on its on is a short game by any stretch of imagination. However, when comparing it to Witcher, it is very short. End of story.

B/c I played many RPGs Vandal, I know what type of game you talking about (it's not some new or unimaginative type of game).

Even considering that I wouldn't call ME a short game.

I've played RPG titles that have lasted me well in to the 200hr marks,and I still wouldn't call ME short.

It is really amazing how much you backpedal when you are under pressure.

This is what you said initially: "After playing and beating both I'd say the Witcher wins. Mass Effect would have won if it wasn't short as crap and had graphics problems to kingdom come."

Keep playing laggy flop, is that all you got for RPGs?

Btw, RPGs last longer than 20 hours.

RPGs have great battle systems, not a battle system used in the PS1 era, lol.

Did you really like that weak customization for skills and the level up system? YOU GOT MILKED :lol:

Yeam I did about the same thing, I stopped doing the side quests just to get her actually. I had myself a combat specialist, and Tali acted as my Engineer of sorts... I needed a biotics specialist Liara fit the bill. Perfect team in my opinion.

RPGs have great battle systems, not a battle system used in the PS1 era, lol.

Did you really like that weak customization for skills and the level up system? YOU GOT MILKED :lol:

MASS EFFECT VS OBLIVON

STORY

MASS EFFECT

PLAY AS YOU WANT AND A GLORIOUS STORY TO FALLOW SO YOU WONT FORGET ABOUT IT AND FEEL LIKE YOU PLAYED THE GAME TEN TIMES OVER BEFORE STARTING THE MAIN QUEST

CHARACTERS

TIE, WELL DEVELOPED AND ENGAGING

SUB CHARACTER

TIE, BOTH ARE ENGAGING

SUB QUEST

TIE,GUILD QUEST AND TOWN = SPACE EXPLORATION AND INTERESTING SUB STORIES FOR OTHER CHARTERS

WEAPONS AND ARMOR

TIE, BOTH ARE OPENLY CUSTOMIZABLE

MAGIC AND HEALTH

TIE, OBLIVION YOU CAN MAKE YOU OWN SPELL BUT YOU HAVE TO GRID TO GET THE BEST EFFECT WHILE MASS EFFECT THE LOOSELY CALL SPELL SYSTEMIS RECHARGABLEBUT HEALING IS LIMITED

ITEMS AND INTERFACE

OBLIVION TEN TIMES OVER, MASS EFFECT HAS NO ITEMS OTHER THAT WEAPONS ARMOR AND UPGRADES. AND EVER WITH MASS EFFECT COOL GALAXY MAP , IT STILL DOES NOT OVER SHADOW IT LIMITING INTERFACE

COMBAT

TIE, SLASHING IS FUN AND SHOOTING IS FUN.

LEARNING CURVE

OBLIVION, MASS EFFECT TEACHES YOU NOTHING ABOUT PLAYING THE GAME!!!!!!!!! OTHER THAN THE COMBAT INTERFACE EVERYTHING ELSE IS TRIAL AND ERROR.

ENVIONMENT

TIE, AND NO ONE CAN OPPOSE THIS AT ALL .YOU KNOW ITS TRUE.

CHARACTER COMMUNICATION

MASS EFFECT,HAVING THE CHOICE TO BE A NICE GUYOR A D**K TO BE A BOTTON PRESS AWAY IS GLORIOUS.

CONCLUSION

MASS EFFECT=OBLIVION

[QUOTE="Sir-Marwin105"]I have 20 hours in it, and only have don the planet Liara was on. Haven't done any of the other Main Quest Planets.-RPGamer-

Yeam I did about the same thing, I stopped doing the side quests just to get her actually. I had myself a combat specialist, and Tali acted as my Engineer of sorts... I needed a biotics specialist Liara fit the bill. Perfect team in my opinion.

I usually switch my teams up every planet. I've already done Wrex's Armor quest, and it was a complete fluke. I just brought him along, and low and behold he knew where we were. Now time to do Garrus's quest. :twisted:

[QUOTE="Marth6781"]Funny how lemms praise mass effect even though it got a 8.5, but when us sheep praise Metroid we get bashed.demonik_360

8.5 != bad.

8.5 = great game. Regardless of the game/system, and those who try saying otherwise are usually heavily biased.

Warhawk got an 8.5...that game was/is GREAT....Mass Effect is no where near flop. Now it could have been much better with a little more time tho.

ME flopped that's a fact but I'm surprised that cows jump on this dead horse still. Just cause it missed it score by .5 it's garbage compared to if it got .5 more it would have been GOTY contender. last time I checked the majority of cows would admit flopped score doesn't equal a bad game, cause God knows they had a few flops that where good games!? Neither side will admit this but it's the truth.

Ok, let's get serious now.

The gameplay is really last last gen, how anybody supposed to be happy about this weak gameplay?

The customization and leveling up is so lame, it does not give alot of things to do, it is so linear for customization.

You can't talk to most NPCs, only important NPCs you can press the A button to talk to, every other RPG, you can talk to any body.

The framerate lag make the game worse.

I don't hate games, but I hate messy flop.

Mass effect flopped, noone cares about itPaddy345

are you just ignorant? or were you born with your head up your ass? so what if it flopped? i suppose now you'll try to say uncharted is beter because it met its hype? where was I when people took a game getting a good score but not meeting hype not as a bad thin. its an 8.5! not a 4! it still is a great game, lots of people care about it

You get what you dish out. The lemmings railed Heavenly Sword and R & C both to the point of nonsense with posts about them flopping. Do you think cows aren't going to dish it back when a Microsoft game flops and fails to achieve AAA status on GS?

Wow, so much ignorance in this thread it's sad. Mass Effect is a great game regardless of what people say or want to think to themselves. Better PS3 RPG? There isn't a better one atm. FFXIII and quite a few others promise alot from next year though.

I have the game, myself, and enjoy it. Doesn't change the fact that it's a flop and this thread is damage control. System Wars is System Wars. Not System Disagreements.

I did say Great and that's what the 8.5 review states. Where did i say it wasn't a flop? Oh, i didn't. I said it was a great game which is what *gasp* was at the bottom of the GS review. Still, there aren't any PS3 RPG's that are better. People on here are ragging on Mass Effect like it scored a 6.0 or something. It's childish but expected from most. Kinda sad really.

Lemmings did the same thing to Ratchet and Clank and Heavenly Sword, treating them like 6.0 or less games. As for better PS3 RPGs, it probably won't matter too much. It took the 360 two years to get a worthwhile exclusive RPG. I don't think it will take the PS3 that long.

I know they did the same with Ratchet and Clank (highly underrated) and Heavenly Sword (got what it deserved...no excuse for the length of that game). Still, i stated Great and that's what the review implies. Ratchet wasn't scored as great on here but, as i said, it's highly underrated here. I'm simply responding to the TC's thread title and, right now, there isn't an RPG on the PS3 that stands up to Mass Effect. In the future? Probably. But that wasn't the title of the thread. ;)

I hate when you cows say Mass effect flopped

8.5 IS A GREAT SCORE

Just because a game did not get as good a score as the hype doesn't mean it flopped

You Cows keep saying mass effect flopped so that no one calls Uncharted a flop

8.5 is better than 8.0

after all the floppages, well they didnt hype Uncharted AAA.. so its not a flop.. but it isnt better than Mass Effect thats for sure..
